With Document Understanding Solutions you are always on the right side!
The future is built on the past! That is why we combine many years of experience in the solution and project business with continuous technological innovation of our IDR platform IRISXtract™ for Documents. This requires a system architecture that uses the product platform IRISXtract™ for Documents as Shared Services.
This concept leads to our Solution Packages and Solution Components:
Solution Packages:
Solution Packages are pre-defined rule sets for document classification or data extraction. The predefinition of rule sets is based on many years of experience and thus minimizes the project specific development investments.
Customers and partners benefit from the extensive experience gained from practical projects which had an influence on the development of the Solution Packages.
The Solution Packages contain a data catalogue plus extraction and verify rule sets considering the appropriate business process requirements (= "built-in business process know-how").
Continuous development and regular release updates allow the Solution Packages to consistently adjust to growing requirements. Operators especially benefit from low project efforts and costs, short set up times and integrated software services.
Solution Components:
Solution Components are toolboxes used to create new Solution Packages or customized solutions – adapted to individual needs. Based on the Solution Components, rule sets for classification or data extraction of specific documents and/or specific business processes can be developed.
The basis of the toolbox are designers (Forms-Designer, Classify-Designer) providing different possibilities to create rule sets for data extraction and document classification for formless documents or drafts.
Being the ideal partner starts with the solution concept as Solution Packages allow short development periods so that you can gain more profits from sales of licenses - even with consistent resources.
On the other hand, Solution Components allow developing solutions for even the most exotic niche market.
I.R.I.S. Document Understanding Solutions: That is variable information content within documents and Understanding Solutions. Because only if information is found and processed intelligently, a solution can ensure effective optimization of business processes.
Document Understanding Solutions for Intelligent Document Recognition!

I would think that the 37-38 would be fine for you.
I have a 15-18 year old electric hot water heater that needs replacing. The best place locally for me to buy one is at Lowe's. The old hot water heater is 47-gallon. My Lowe's only has in stock a 37 or 38 gallon electric hot water heater. My hot water heater is located under the house in crawl space so it has to be a low-boy, which the one at Lowe's is. When I bought the old one, there were four people in the house, but my children are grown and there is now only me and my wife. The house has approx. 1800 sq. ft heated space, with two bathroom. My questions is, will the 37-38 gallon heater be adequate now for our needs, or do I need to look elsewhere or have Lowe's order me a 47-gallon heater???
I would think that the 37-38 would be fine for you.
It depends what you want to do. I have a 50 gallon and I can empty it taking a nice long shower or bath.
I'd also call a plumbing supply and see what they offer as far as water heaters. Box store heaters are cheaper for a reason and it isn't bulk purchases.
You're lucky to get maybe 2/3-3/4 of the volume of the tank before the incoming cold water dilutes it so much, it's not pleasant any more. If you're really lucky, you might get 30-gallons out of the tank (and almost certainly less) at 2.5 gpm for a showerhead, that's 12-minutes. Probably not a lot, especially if someone goes right after the first one.

I don't know what Lowes is selling, but 30, 40, and 50 gallons are the standard low boy capacities.

Copper Ribbon Wreath
- Summary
Combining a sophisticated color palette with old-world charm, our wreath combines glossy fresh magnolia leaves with sprigs of boxwood and noble fir, accented with creamy-white tallow berries and natural pinecones. A wired copper-colored organza ribbon provides the finishing flourish for the wreath. Protect from weather. Available in a petite 12" diam. size and larger 22" and 26" diam. sizes. Made in USA.
- Use & Care
- Upon receipt, carefully cut the cable ties securing the wreath and gently remove it from the box.
- The fresh and dried natural materials used in the wreath are intended for display indoors or in a sheltered outdoor area. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat, which will cause the materials to fade and become fragile. The fresh botanicals in the arrangement were newly picked and will complete their drying process within 1 to 2 weeks. As fresh botanicals age, it is natural for their colors to fade and their leaves to curl slightly.
- If you choose to hang your wreath outdoors, protect it from the sun, wind and rain.
- It is normal for natural materials to shed. The extra fullness of our wreath is intended to compensate for any unavoidable shedding during shipping. To minimize shedding, it is best to not move it once it has been hung.
- To store your wreath, we recommend lightly wrapping it in tissue paper and storing it flat in the box in which it arrived or a box of comparable size.

How to be a Cat
written by Nikki McClure
Abrams | ISBN 9781419705281
Hardback – 40 pages
Member's price: $17.96
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
This book describes "how to be a cat" through simple instructions; purr, stretch, explore, pounce, chase, while Nikki's distinctive paper cuts illustrate a kitten's attempts to imitate an adult cat's mastery of each skill. At times the kitten triumphantly succeeds in the instruction and at times he fumbles, creating a gently comic juxtaposition between text and image.

Happy the man, whose wish and care
A few paternal acres bound,
In his own ground.
Whose herds with milk, whose fields with bread,
Whose flocks supply him with attire,
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,
In winter fire.
Blest, who can unconcern'dly find
Hours, days, and years slide soft away,
In health of body, peace of mind,
Quiet by day,
Sound sleep by night; study and ease,
Together mixt; sweet recreation;
And innocence, which most does please
With meditation.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown,
Thus unlamented let me die,
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.
Solitude has much been on my mind of late and I suppose has been reflected to some degree in the photographs I make. I believe there is a measure of psychology available through the pictures one makes. I came across the poem by Alexander Pope and was struck by the simplicity I seek through solitude and by extension through riding.
An early breakfast in Bellefonte at the Café on the Park, a favorite, offered a quiet place to eat and read the paper before going to work. While I have no herds or fields supplying me with milk and bread I imagine the café as just a few simple steps away. A lot of years have passed since Pope wrote his poem.
I sat at the counter, something I seldom do. Looking at the place I found it more like an old general store than a restaurant. It has it's own unique charm and I'm glad I found it.
The ride yesterday morning was cold enough that I had to stop to put the liner in my First Gear Kilimanjaro IV riding jacket to be comfortable. At 64 degrees I'm a wuss. Looking at the Vespa parked between Interstate 99 passing overhead I'm reminded of how small and insignificant the scooter is on the road. I left with a renewed sense of rider responsibility.
I learned what benthic invertebrates are while photographing two scientists working in Spring Creek. This big gravel lot used to be the site of the McCoy Dam near Milesburg, Pennsylvania before it was torn out a few years ago to allow Spring Creek to return to it's natural flow. The two women at the van were pulling on their waders to begin sampling in the creek which flows on the right. They've been studying how the ecosystems restore themselves after a big disturbance like the removal of a dam. As a value-added educational feature of Scooter in the Sticks I'll let you research the meaning of benthic invertebrates. (grin)
Quiet by day,
On roads like this there is ample supply of quiet both for the ear and the eye. It surprises me at times how I continue to be drawn to these places.
At the end of the day at the southern end of the valley I found myself in another quiet place. Visually at least. While making this photograph a large truck full of liquid manure pulled in to begin spreading it's nutrient goodness on an open field behind me. Something I've learned is you don't want to cross paths with a working manure truck.
While the day was full of work it also provided more lessons in solitude. I know many riders abhor being alone on the road choosing travel to pig roasts and poker runs and the socialization that follows. Maybe I'll learn to appreciate those events someday. For now I still find value in the sweet recreation of solitude on the road.

What do you do when the biggest hotel in town completes a $52 million renovation during the town's 50th anniversary year?
If the hotel is the Sheraton Bal Harbour, and the town is the little Florida Gold Coast enclave of Bal Harbour, you throw a party, of course. And what a party: rock'n'roll stars, a Gianni Versace fashion show, fireworks, skydivers, cigar-rolling demonstrations, champagne tasting, magicians, and mermaids-with all proceeds to support the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, a leader in spinal injury research.
The most immediately obvious change to the property is the beachfront area. The huge swimming pool and sunbathing areas have undergone a $12 million transformation into a water theme park, complete with water slide, flume, and waterfall. The new pool snakes like a river around gazebos and under pedestrian bridges, creating a series of separate areas for outdoor functions. The design permits three or four small groups to hold cocktail receptions or dinners in the same area without feeling as though they are on top of each other.
All 655 rooms and 53 suites have been renovated, as have the hotel's five restaurants and lounges. The Bal Harbour Beach House, a 250-seat oceanfront bar and restaurant, and al Carbon, an upscale South American/Mediterranean theme restaurant with an Argentine chef, are new.
The hotel's 73,000 square feet of meeting space have also undergone renovation, including the 17,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom and the 20,000-square-foot Nautilus exhibit hall. A junior ballroom, ten meeting rooms and an executive center with four rooms for board meetings comprise the rest of the breakout space.
With the renovations have come new policies for booking meetings. In years gone by, Sheraton would allow groups to book the entire hotel. Now, the hotel plans to limit group sizes to 300 during peak season (roughly January through April) and to 450 during low season.

Summary of Sinner Takes All Summary of Sinner Takes All Reviews for Sinner Takes All An Excerpt from Sinner Takes All
The world's #1 porn star strips down about life, love, and everything in between."Even porn stars have romantic illusions. Just take a stroll through the new Sinner Takes All by Tera Patrick. The fast-reading memoir whips from knowing to naive and back as it tracks its plucky protagonist from ugly-duckling school days to international adult superstardom."
Tera Patrick wasn't always Tera Patrick. Once upon a time she was a gangly, teenaged bookworm named Linda Ann Hopkins, obsessed with serial killers and Marilyn Monroe and determined to make men all over the world one day desire her. And she succeeded: Today she sits atop the porn world and runs her own multimillion-dollar empire.
Sinner Takes All is a sexy and deeply personal memoir in which Tera bares all about baring all. Tera discusses leaving home as a teen to work as an international fashion model, losing her virginity at age fourteen to a man twice her age, working as a nurse at a senior citizen's home, her on- and off-screen sexual escapades, and the emotional obstacles that she's had to overcome, including a strained relationship with her mother, deadbeat boyfriends, and a suicide attempt that led to a stint in a locked-down psych ward.
An honest and naked look at a one-of-a-kind life, Sinner Takes All is a riveting memoir of the making of a modern sex goddess.
-Dallas Morning News
"Sinner Takes All lets fans and interested parties alike get the down and dirty details on the personal and professional life of one of the biggest names in a multi-billion dollar industry."
"I can think of no one more fascinating than Tera Patrick-porn star, model, and businesswoman-as readers of this book are certain to agree. It's all here-her passions, triumphs, and defeats-in more detail than we have any right to expect."
-Larry Flynt
"This book is an inspirational read with a clear message: There are no limits when one is determined, motivated, and driven."
-Dave Navarro
"Orgasms, like laughter, can be faked, but it's better when they're not. Tera doesn't fake anything in this revealing and inspiring book."
-Margaret Cho
"She's a girl who knows what she wants and gets it. That's what's cool about Tera Patrick."
-Carmen Electra

The curious case of the movie poster thief, coming soon to a courtroom near you
Photo by Heritage Vancouver via Flickr Creative Commons
Accused! LAPD is investigating the case of 36-year-old man suspected of stealing 3,000 movie posters from CBS worth nearly half a million dollars, and then selling them at auction online, say officials.
Christian Eric Steven of Reseda pleaded not guilty to charges of grand theft and receiving stolen property at an arraignment on Thursday, the District Attorney's Office announced.
The defendant's next court appearance is scheduled for April 9 at Van Nuys Superior Court.
The thefts occurred between June 3, 2011 and March 27, 2012, the complaint alleges. Stevens could face a maximum term of five years in custody if convicted.
In unrelated movie poster news, a collection of 33 rare Hollywood "golden era" posters were recently discovered in a Philadelphia attic. A 1931 poster for "Dracula" sucked the most cash at auction with a selling price of $143,400, says CBS.

I had one of the most delicious experiences of my life today. With a well known culinary school and a thriving foodie scene, Providence has become one of the new cuisine hotspots on the east coast. Federal Hill, a local neighborhood traditionally occupied by immigrants, is home to 62 great restaurants, many of them Italian.
I took a culinary tour of Federal Hill with chef Cindy Salvato, who operates a company called Savoring Rhode Island. We started at Schialo Brothers Bakery, a traditional Italian bakery where one family has created bread, cakes and cookies in a brick oven for nearly 100 years. Next, we visited Roma, an grocery store with beiautiful meats, fresh pastas and imported olive oils, and then Tony's Colonial Food, where the proprietor offerd us a taste of mouth-melting prosciutto. From there, we visited Constantino's Venda Ravioli, a large Italian market and restaurant, where we sampled delicious cheeses and pickled peppers stuffed with mozzarella and prosciutto balls.
As if that weren't enough, Cindy took me to lunch at Zooma, a neighborhood Italian restaurant where we ordered pan-fried fresh calamari, brick-oven pizza, and a trio of pastas. The rich bolognese, pillowy gnocchih and intricate sacchettini (stuffed with cheese and mushrooms) were an overwhelming feast of flavor that may be the next best thing to Italy itself.

401 W Ninth St, Charlotte, NC | Directions 2820235.233664 -80.840711
Mon-Thu 11:30am-10pm
Fri, Sat 11:30am-11pm
Neighborhoods: Fourth Ward
I'm online browsing for somewhere to have dinner tonight and we all know restaurants are smoke free in NC so, I tell you one thing regardless of whether I smoke or not, any place doing that well they can afford to be so egotistical in their description they don't need my money. I'll pay $100 a plate to anyplace that just leave me alone.
Great little Spot – I have been to this resturant twice and each time was great. The food was awesome and the atmosphere is just what we were looking for. This is a very small place and it gets crowded quickly but the service was excellent and we Will be going back.
A Hidden Treasure in Charlotte – The food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is laid back.
Great spot to catch up with old friends/family.
My personal favorite is the Chicken Pita!
Good Place to chill – This is a great place tucked into the 4th ward neighborhood.
If you're looking for a packed bar with loud dance music this isn't for you, but if your looking for a nice place to chill then give it a try
Not a bar for Jocks or @ssh0les – This place is the place you go to to unwind. Calm atmosphere, good comfort foods, great beers. If your a j#rk.... go downtown... we don't want you here
Great atmosphere and food – My girlfriends and I frequently meet up here for a girl night dinner because of the atmosphere. It's just very quaint and just a place that you want to hangout out in for a while. My favorite it the honey chicken and I also love the fried pickles. The last time we went, we ended up staying for hours and drinking wine. The people who work there are very nice too and make you feel comfortable. Would recommend to anyone.
Awesome food, and quaint – they have the best london broil sandwich I have ever eaten. Nice atmosphere, and off the beaten path but so worth the visit.
Great low-key bar with excellent food! – This is a great unpretentious place to just grab a bite and have a drink or two. Dimly lit bar with a relaxed atmosphere. The potato wedges and quesadillas are great, as well as the sandwiches and pasta dishes. If you want super-friendly service, go elsewhere. This place is about function, not form.
Great local pub – We just went to Alexander Michael's for the first time and loved it! After reading the reviews, we decided to try it out. The owner greeted us at the door- it wasn't crowded for a Saturday night. We ordered the nachos based on the reviews- and they were great, it seems they used homemade chips. Then I had the chicken pita and my boyfriend ordered the london broil sandwich. They were both great! The waitress was very friendly and welcoming. I don't know why that one man had a problem- I think he has this place confused, because there was no hostess- or even a hostess stand. This was a great experience, I would recommend it to anyone- young and old!
Best Kept Secret – This is a great place to take a first date. Good beer list, freindly people. A nice change from tryon st feel. You can walk in dressy or casual and feel comfortable. Would reccomend this place to any of my friends.

Black: The afternoon fishing has been pretty good for all species but trout. The crappie and yellow perch action has really improved.
Harts: Crappie fishing has picked up in recent days, while the trout action has been slow. Mini-jigs in green-white or yellow-white fished under a bobber have been effective for crappie.
Kapowsin: Trout fishing has been fair to good. Try trolling a lure, such as a Wedding Ring, tipped with a bit of worm close to the surface.
Potholes: Perch fishing continues to be excellent. Walleye action improved this week but still is a bit inconsistent. Some days people are bringing in limits, and others they are working to find biting fish. Fishing for smallmouth bass along the face of O'Sullivan Dam continues to provide great action. State fish biologists are asking anglers to keep their limit of smallmouth bass — 10 fish, with one longer than 14 inches — because the reservoir is overpopulated with smallmouth.
Spanaway: Still-fishing with a worm and white marshmallow is producing some limits. Trolling a Wedding Ring and worm is producing some limits, but people are having to work harder with that method. Dock anglers are catching a fair number of trout.
Spencer: Trout fishing has been excellent. In fact, all the lakes in that part of Mason County have been fishing very well so far. Most people are using rainbow or chartreuse PowerBait or night crawlers.
Tapps: The smallmouth bass action remains slow. The fish are still holding fairly deep, congregating along steep-dropping shorelines in water 18-25 feet deep. Try a drop shot rig or Carolina rig.
Cowlitz: Summer-run steelhead action has been fair overall. Most people are free-drifting eggs. The best spot for spring chinook has been at the barrier dam. Eggs again remain the hot bait for shore anglers, while boaters are using eggs or shrimp behind a diver.
Skagit: Spring chinook fishing is starting to improve, with the best action between the mouth of the Cascade and Rockport. Eggs fishing behind a diver has been an effective method.
Wynoochee: People are catching a few summer-run steelhead, but the action is not red hot. Most people are using jigs, spoons or spinners in the deeper holes.
Yakima: Fly-fishing for trout has been very good, especially in the lower canyon. Try small nymphs fished fairly shallow or pale morning duns when you see rising fish. The river flow is hovering around 3,000 cubic feet per second.
South Sound: Chinook fishing in Marine Area 11 remains good, with more than 40 fish counted by the state checkers last weekend. People are finding fish off Salmon Beach and jigging on the slack tide at Point Evans. Some fish are being caught off the clay banks and Point Dalco. Fox Island and Anderson Island have been good spots in Marine Area 13. Try jigging with Point Wilson Darts or mooching with herring.
Westport: People are hooking a lot of wild salmon, which have to be released. A few hatchery chinook are being caught off the Quinault Casino in water 40-80 feet deep, and a few more around the North Bowl. On opening weekend, June 8-9, there were 684 anglers who took part in the fishery, and they brought in 179 marked chinook.Contributors: Annie Meseberg at MarDon Resort, Tom Pollack at Sportco, state Department of Fish and Wildlife, Westport Charter Boat Association, gamefishin.com, Joet Rotter at Red's Fly Shop, washingtonlakes.com, Walt Harvey at Verle's Sports Center, Phil Stephens of Mystical Legends Guide Service, steelheaduniversity.com, Bud Herlitzka at Spanaway Park Boathouse and Don Wells at Harts Lake Resort.

Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library Digital Collections
An Interview wi th U. S . Ambassador
to Japan , Mike Mansfiel d
Shortly after President Ronald Reagan took office ,
he made a telephone call to the U. S . Embassy in Tokyo .
There , Ambassador Mike Mansfield , the Democrats ' former
Senate Majority Leader , and his wife , were packing for
their anticipated return horne to retlLernent . To the
Ambassador ' s surprise , t he Republican President asked
Mansfield to remain as his representative in Japan .
Japanese and Japan ' s American residents have welcomed
the President ' s bipartisan gesture . The 78-year-old is
known as an ornono taishi ( "big- name ambassador " ) to the
Japanese , who believe their country benefits from the access
he enjoys to a wide range of U. S . opinion-makers . To
mark the start of his new assignment and the 35th anniversary
(eds . : June 1981) of publication of our Japanese edition ,
Ambassador Mansfield granted an interview to Ko Shioya ,
the Japanese Digest ' s editor- in- chief , and Anthony Paul,
our Hong Kong-based roving editor assigned to the AsiaPacific
region .
Q. For many years now , U.S . -Japan trade figures have been
grossly out of balance . In both nations , the press reports
continuing U. S . demands on Japan for higher levels of
defense spending . And yet , you've been quoted as saying
that U. S . -Japan relations have never been better . In
the face of such fundamental policy conflicts, Mr. Ambassador ,
how can you justify such a view?
A. I think you have to look at the picture as a whole .
For a while, we had the trade surplus with Japan and only
in recent years has the situation been reversed . This past
year , our deficit with Japan carne out to about $9 . 9 billion .
But at the same time , our surplus with the West European
Community is $17 . 7 billion. Japan ' s total surplus worldwide
was $2 . 1 billion - - not much in the way of surplus
if you look at the situation as a whole .
So , I do think that when we don ' t break the picture
into parts , we find we have the makings of a sound relationship
. Of course , we 've had difficulties on occasion . We're
bound to , as the world two biggest industrial democracies .
Time and again , though , Japanese and Americans have responded
to what a fr i end of mine has decribed as "incalculable
opportunities disguised as insoluble problems: " We have
taken such problems and made them opportunities to talk
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 2 -
rationally, to consult, to understand and build the machinery
to solve similar problems that may occur in the future .
Q. Will U.S. policies toward Japan take new directions under
President Reagan?
A. I don't think so. The course has been set; the policy
by and large will remain the same. Now and again, there'll
be emphasis on various factors -- on the disparity in
automobiles, on defense -- but hopefully in a private manner.
Q. It seems that for almost all this century , the U.S.
and Japan, when we are not fighting each other on the
battlefield, are fighting in the marketplace. Are our two
nations always going to be on such collision courses,
or is there some hope for future trade "peace " ?
A. There are bound to be difficulties from time to time,
and I think we have to expect them and prepare for them and
keep them from becoming political issues . It's impossible
to anticipate a peaceful relationship in the sense that
you ' ve expressed it. But by and large I think our two
nations have been able to cope effectively with past trade
I think there were times when we've probably gone too
far -- for example , at the time of the Textile Agreement
seven years ago. But we 've learned from that and the Japanese
have learned something about us from that . Since that time,
in facing up to difficulties over such things as T .V.
and steel exports and now autos we ' ve been able by and large,
to arrive at mutually satisfactory solutions .
During the 34 years I spent in Congress , what concerned
me was that mos~ of the time I was almost a lone in showing
an interest in this part of the world. But that's changing
now. The European bias still is maintained but much more
interest is being shown about the Pacific and East Asia.
This region is far more important to the future than
Western Europe . I 'm convinced , for example, that the next
big oil area which will be uncovered and exploited lies
off the East Asian and Southeast Asian coast. You ' ve
got everything out here and we better take advantage of
it while we have the chance.
Q. What of China trade? Japanese and American firms seem
to be scrambling at the moment for the best possible position
in a revitalized Chinese marketplace . Do you foresee any
future U. S.-Japan problems there?
A. No, I anticipate friendly compe tition. The Chinese
market is turning out not to be what many people thought
it would be, and I would anticipate a good trade relationship
on the part of Japan and the U. S . with China in the
years ahead.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana

In pursuing modernization and a climate of security
in which modernization can succeed, China is likely to
turn outward -- toward Japan, the U.S. and Europe --
for technology and trade and, to a degree, for tacit
political support. It clearly behooves us to be judiciously
responsive. For we all have a profound interest in a
stable, peaceful China engaged productively in the international
Of course, despite normalization of U.S. relations
with China, the first and most important partner and ally
of the U.S. in Asia and the Pacific is Japan. But both
Japan and the U.S. benefit from the fact that China is,
in a sense, an Asian NATO holding down 47 first-rate
modern Soviet divisions and 26 percent of the Soviet air
force at no cost to us.
Q. Mr. Ambassador, let's talk for a moment about Japan in
Asia. Do you foresee any changes in the economic and
political role Japan will have to play in our own part of
the world?
A. Yes, and I think that's becoming apparent. Beginning
with former Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda's trip to the
ASEAN area in 1977, there has been a gradual expansion in
Japan's relations with the rest of Asia and especially
with East Asia. I think that is a good procedure. Japan
has had to move very carefully because of memories of the
Pacific War but she had done quite well. The promises
made by Mr. Fukuda in 1977 and the latest visit by Prime
Minister Zenko Suzuki in January have all strengthened
that relationship, have broadened Japan's outlook and
have created a satisfactory situation between ASEAN and
the Japanese economically and otherwise.
Q. Japan has been called "an economic giant, a military
midget." And yet history teaches us that economically
powerful countries have always felt obliged to have strong
armed forces. In your view, Mr. Ambassador, will the
Japanese be compelled to spend more on our defense?
A. That's something which the Japanese themselves must
decide. I think it ought to be kept in mind, however, that
the Japanese, during the full decade of the 1970s, increased
their defense expenditures at the rate of eight percent
a year. NATO increased its defense expenditures during
the same period at two percent a year and the U.S. decreased
its defense expenditures in real dollars during that per1od
by two percent a year.
Since then, the Japanese have added further to their
defense budget increases. They have done so in spite of
the fact that article 9 of their Constitution forbids the
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 4 -
creation of armed forces and in spite of the Japanese
people's anti-militarist feeling, a carryover from the
Pacific War.
The people, however, have come to accept the U.S.Japan
Mutual Security Treaty. At the time of the Treaty's
inauguration in 1960, there were violent riots and demonstrations.
By last year, the 20th anniversary, the
treaty was accepted.
They are in the process now of modernizing their
Self-Defense Forces, especially their navy and air force.
They're beginning to take up some of the slack created
by the shifting of elements of the U.S. Seventh Fleet
from the Pacific to the Western Indian Ocean. In looking
outward more, they've even gone so far as to engage last
year in RIMPAC '80 maneuvers, along with naval elements
from the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. And
I believe they will participate in the next exercise
in 1982.
But their defense is their reponsibility. They will
make the decisions and I feel certain those will be in the
right direction.
Q. Are you saying, Mr. Ambassador, that, you're in favor
of Japanese rearmament?
A. No, I am not, because Article 9 of the Japanese
Constitution and the feeling of the Japanese people and
reaction on the part of some Asian and Pacific nations
would preclude that. What the Japanese do is their own
responsibility, but what we want them to do is to take
on as much of that responsibility as possible for the
defense of their horne islands and their territorial waters.
Q. Would you favor, then the removal of that "non-war
clause" from the Constitution?
A. That is a Japanese responsibility.
Q. Mr. Ambassador, the Japanese are, as you know, often
curious -- and, at the moment, concerned about how the
rest of the world views Japan. How has the U.S. image of
Japan changed since the Pacific War?
A. These days the American people know a great deal more
about Japan than they used to, though not anywhere near
enough. The Japanese know much more about us. They understand
us better and are more aware of the difficulties
which arise from time to time.
The visit by Commodore Perry in 1853 began what became
a series of ups and downs in U.S.-Japan relations. Unlike
in our ties with Great Britain, language and cultural
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 5 -
differences have been obstacles to mutual understanding.
Trust doesn't come easy under these circumstances.
Extraordinary efforts by both sides are necessary.
Nevertheless, I would say that today the interchange
between the Diet and Congress is excellent. The interchange
between labor, business and tourist groups and the
like has furthered understanding. And out of all this
has developed a recognition that our two nations are
involved in the world's most important nation-to-nation
relationship. Important, because the peace, prosperity and
stability of the Pacific and East Asia depend upon the
U.S.-Japan relationship to a far greater extent than
many people realize.
The Japanese are finally coming out of their cocoon.
The first real indication of that was Prime Minister
Fukuda's 1977 ASEAN visit. Since then, Japan's prime
ministers and foreign ministers and other cabinet members
have been traveling to all five continents. There's
been a shift from Japan's omni-directional, equidistant
foreign policy to one of making choices. This was caused
in large part by what happened in Iran and especially
in Afghanistan, by Russia's reoccupation, in effect, of
the Northern islands and other factors.
Q. Sir, for the past 36 years, since the end of the war,
Japan really has made a remarkable recovery and we see
a confident Japan today. Overall Japan's accomplishments
have been termed very successful. What do you think has
contributed to this "success"?
A. I would say that Japan is very confident and rightly
so, that among all the industrial nations it stands out.
Yet I think that Japanese deep down realize how vulnerable
their nation is.
If I may become parochial ... Montana, my home state,
is 3000 square miles larger than Japan. We have just
787,000 people. We have all kinds of resources: oil and
gas, beef, timber, copper, manganese, zinc, tungsten, all
kinds of coal. The Japanese, in comparison, have
approximately 116 million people and no resources.
The result is that, to survive, the Japanese have to
import raw material and process and export it. Deep down,
the people are aware of their nation's vulnerability, so
they get in there and they work. They are very productive.
They are very quality-conscious. When the yen gets too
much out of line, they get in and work that much harder.
They have pride in what they do.
And if some people accuse you of being "workaholics,"
well, I consider that a compliment. I wish we could get
back to that condition in the U.S. It built our country
and it is building Japan.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana

Q. In comparison , U. S . industry does indeed seem to
be ai l ing to some extent . There have been voices
calling for American to learn from Japan or the Japanese
experience. Do you share this view?
A. We can learn from each other . After all, the
Japanese have learned a great deal from us and they 've
put i t to good use and improved on what they were
taught . Now , in many instances , they are turning out
to be the professor and we 're the students . Consider,
for example, the Quality Control councils (worker
groups credited with making major contributions to
Japanese productivity) . That idea was an American
innovation which we let fall into disuse . The Japanese
have adopted it , improved on it and made it work .
In Japan , the assumption that labor or consumers
must lose if business gains doen ' t prevail . It's
fairly well documented that the Japanese consumer,
by paying high prices , subsidized investment by big
corporations during Japan ' s post-war recovery period .
Nonetheless , the whole country benefited . Per capita
Gross National Product went from about $200 in the early
1950s to about $6000 now in real terms . The Japanese
experience has proved false the notion that the gain
of business is necessarily a loss for someone else .
Moreover , Japan has very good relationships between
industry and labor and between industry and government
and among all three . You have a sort of semi- partership
which is beneficial to the country as a whole .
Whereas in our country, we have to contend with the
adversarial relationships between labor and industry
and between industry and government . We can learn
from the Japanese by developing a semi-partnership .
Q. Mr. Ambassador, the U. S . appears to have an interest
in frictions continuing between the Soviet Union and
China . Do you think that Japan has a similar stake?
Or do you foresee possible differences between Tokyo ' s
and Washington ' s attitudes toward Sino-Soviet relations?
A. No , I think Japan and the U.S . have the same feeling
about the Sino- Soviet relationship. A change in the
relationship between these two communist countries
dates back to 1955 . The result has been a shift on
the part of the People ' s Republic of China toward Japan,
Western Europe and the U.S. , in that order . And out
of that shift has come a betterment, I think, of
conditions in China , which has resulted in more hope for
its people and better prospects . So I would say that
there will be no change in that picture in the immediate
future .

Q. Mr. Ambassador, some personal questions. At some
point in your life, U.S. Marine Corps service in Asia
was converted into a lasting intellectual interest.
Are you able to indentify the point at which this
change occurred.?
A. Well, I came out to Asia in '21 and '22 with the
Marine$,and I spent most of my time in the Philippines.
In 1922, while there were lots of civil wars going on,
we went to Tientsin, China. I had a chance to observe
the Chinese there and developed an interest in them.
I had always been interested in the Philippines and
out of that dual interest, in China and the Philippines,
developed an interest in East Asia.
I read all I could about the Far East. Finally,
I went back to school and did my master's thesis on
Korean-U.S. relations, 1866-1910. When I went to
Congress, I maintained that interest, often times
alone, in both the House and the Senate.
I was impressed with the importance of this area,
an impression which has become stronger with time.
And I'm glad to know that more interest-- though
still not enough -- is being taken in this part of
the world by our people.
These days there's a recognition of the fact that
we've been placing too much emphasis on the Atlantic
and Western Europe, where most of us came from.
Emotionally, the pull has been toward Europe. But the
push is in this direction -- across the North American
continent and the Pacific.
American businessmen are beginning to realize that
this is the area where they achieve the highest returns
on their investments. But they've been slow about it.
I'm disturbed that even though the returns are the
highest in Japan and East Asia, only some $27 or $28
billion of the $200 billion-plus invested overseas by
American business has been placed in this region.
As far as two-way trade is concerned, the trend
is up. In 1975 it amounted to $42 billion; last year
it exceeded $100 billion. You have out here friendly
governments, the resources, the markets, the people.
To put it briefly: this is where it all is; this is
what it's all about; this is the future.
Q. If you were asked to give the greatest strengths
of the Japanese people, what would you nominate?
A. Pride and productivity.
Q. And the greatest weakness?
A. I couldn't say.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 8 -
Q. That answer is consistent with your reputation as
one of the best diplomats the U.S. has ever sent to
Japan. What are the secrets?
A. Well, when I was in the Senate, I tried to operate
under the Christian concept of the Golden Rule or the
Confucian concept known as the Silver Rule: That was
to do unto others as you would have them to unto you.
Or, as the Confucianists put it in the negative, to
not do unto others as you would not have done unto you.
And that applied to Republicans as well as Democrats ....
I've tried to follow the same concept out here.
I've never held with the definition of a diplomat as
a man sent abroad to lie for his country. I've been
frank. I've always laid the cards on the table with
the Japanese. I feel that if you will just lay it
all out and tell it as it is, not only will it be
appreciated by them once they get to know that you're
doing that, but it will also be beneficial to the person
concerned -- in this instance, myself.
If you operate on that basis, you're never caught
short. You don't have to think six months later of
what you've said before. You don't have to look for
excuses. A feeling of mutual trust develops.
And the effort is worth it. While it may not yet
be the best of all possible worlds that the philosophers
speak of, it is the best of all possible times to
work toward that world.

I never go to lunch with my FSDO representative. He comes a couple times a year - sometimes up to four.
Spends at least six hours each time. Sometimes the entire day. He asks me (no matter which compliance officer it is that comes to regulate my facility) if Id like to go to lunch and I never take him up on it. During my repair facilitys inspection and oversight, were never out of ear-shot of at least one of my employees. I know full well what little "practicalities" and secrets can lead to.
I think there must have been some really enjoyable lunches in the last ten years or so (despite some good intentioned financial legislation), between various government regulators and a plethora of banking and financial officers. You know, those meals where the tab for five people is over $500.00 and a "C" note is left for the tip?
Those must have been some heady times. The perception was that The American Dream was the high-performance economic engine that would never blow up and drove every conceivable purchase from the latest SUV to Moms new $50,000 kitchen upgrade.
Now the party is definitely over and proverbial piper has come with your tab. BTW: That was the best speech George W. Bush has or will ever give, last night.

GreatSchools Rating
Mingledorf shows movies everyday. Is that your idea of great teaching? You are clueless! He doesn't work hard.
This school definitely accompanies the lowest common denominator. From my time there as a 6th, 7th, and 8th grader this school rates far below par. There are terrible students (disrespectful), teachers move due dates back further and further to accommodate the majority of the class who didn't do the assignment, and there is a lack of enthusiasm and teaching mechanics. The only teacher who inspired me was my 6th grade history teacher Mr. Mingledorff, any other was mediocre and the school is just uninspiring I got straight age from MY KNOWLEGE and needed no help from those "instructors." I applied to Stanton College Prep. and I am succeeding there no help from Mandarin but I can humbly say to look elsewhere.
This school is dynamic. School year 2012-2013 was an awesome year for my son. His teachers (Team-I) were outstanding, supportive, knowledgeable and responsive. I could not have asked for a greater team of professionals who care about the academic needs of their students. They recognized the differences in learning style and did not cookie-cut their lessons. One great experience was having a teacher personally familiar with ADHD and knew how to reach out / teach ADHD students. This is a subjective review. Mandarin Middle sets the bar with quality teachers & creative methods. Kids enjoy attending and it shows. Great learning environment !
Seems to be well thought of, I have a child that attends,, and he is doing very well
I wouldn't listen to the parents, they have no idea how great the school actually is. I was in the top classes, on a sports team, and in several clubs and I had an amazing few years at this school.I have NO idea what parents talk about 'bullying' there was NO bullying at this school. There were fights, but they were broken up winthin a minute and both student were fighting. I havn't seen any bullyng at the school and I won't. It's a great school and perple who say it isn't are just listening to their whiny kids complain.
My son was there for 3 years. My son has ADHD and a short term learning disability with an IEP. He is main streamed and has a high IQ. He was in advanced classes and doing pretty well. The home page was always up to date. They were also always there if we need to ask something or get verification, emails usually returned within the day. That was a huge PLUS! However with that being said... His spelling is actually atrocious! We work with him at home but got no help at school. I was told that this is what spell check is for. That the FCAT is what they have time to teach and unfortunately do not have time to spend on that.
Bullying is rampant in the school and no one recognizes it. The so called "good" kids are the worst but they are too smart to get caught. Teachers are so-so with some teachers that are biased towards certain students. P.E contains no actual physical education just the students sitting in lines waiting. The food is excellent though. I dislike the higher up staff (principal,vice principal) for being unhelpful and uncaring. Certain kids are picked out by their peers for bullying and some have been forced to drop out and become home schooled. I disliked my experience there and I will remember it as one of the worst times of my life.
We had to make the hard decision to leave a smaller school population and our neighborhood school zone was Mandarin Middle. It turns out we were blessed to be living in this area as the progress of this school conveys. It would be nice if it there were more middle schools for the area because it is very large, but students adjust I think better than parents to that reality. The band program is excellent if you want music education for your children. Would be nice to see more parents around is my only complaint.
I too moved to mandarin so my son could attend Mandarin Middle and I have to say our experience has been excellent. I was worried about the sixth grade shift and my son absolutely loves this school and was 1 point away from straignt A's this last 9 week period. He had great teachers some kept me informed more so than others - but I am extremely pleased with my son's prgress this year.
I actually moved to Mandarin specifically so my son could go to school at Mandarin Middle because I've heard it was such a great 'A' school. Honestly I've had nothing but disappointment with this school. Everyone from the front office staff, to the guidance counselors to the teachers just seem to have an uncaring and an 'I don't want to help, just do my job' attitude. I've left messages w/ the principal who couldn't even bother to return my call when I've had a problem. I know a teachers job is hard but that's the profession you chose so do it to the best of your ability and stop giving up on your students.
Was very happy with the elementary school. When our children moved onto the middle school, it was quite a different story. Lack of communication between the school and parents. Most teachers did not seem to take the interest in their careers. When something arises and a parent should be notified, no phone calls are made. If a child gets hurt, the parents are not aware of a situation until after the event. Very sad indeed. Very disorganized school. Our children now are much older and glad middle school days are behind us. Our children are so much better off in a school with faculty and staff in a wonderful atmosphere. Parents are kept up to date, phone calls are made, everything is up to par, as should be! Hoping things get better for a future generation of Mandarin. Good Luck.
the excel teachers r spectacular in the seventh grade my child loves them. but she has been bullied at bus stop and school and none of the teachers reconize it. It's an A school but not when it comes to the 8th graders this year they pick on the kids and my child has thought of moving schools evry day
Mandarin Middle is okay but sometimes irritating. Some teachers teach fun with games to study, others will be incredibly old-fashioned and boring, which loses their students' attention, and occasionally makes them sleep....... They're usually great, but my biggest problem is their last minute information they send in the mail not even a week before school begins for some students. And that's what irritated me more than anything bout MMS. School begins in almost less than a week, and i don't know what school supplies to get.
I love mandarin middle its such a great skool and the teachers ae great they take care of the students and do there job
I love mandarin middle so much because it it the coolest school in the world and u have so much fun there i hate summer because i miss school and the amazing teachers i cant wait to go back
I went to this school for all of my middle school years, it's a great school. I am now a freshman, so I still remember what it was like. They have great programs, would recommend this school to anyone.
great school/safe neighborhood/no violent crime/good gifted program...comp. to charter schools
Just a typical Jacksonville school. It's too bad they don't have neighborhood schools anymore. My child did not have a good experience there. You have a faculty that for the most part is just lame to say the least.
I love this school!!!! This is my second child to come thru Mandarin Middle and I have nothing but the highest praise for the staff.
As a mother of a 6th grader, I am very disappointed with this school. They have a very bad bully problem and the teachers are never around to stop it. When I call or go into the office, they just give a bunch of lip service and NEVER follow through. I will never put my child in this school again. I can't wait for this year to be over. It does not matter that the school is an 'A school'. It is overwhelmed with bullies and lack of concern from the staff.

Cato at Liberty: A Libertarian Dilemma
In the November issue of Liberty magazine I write about one factor that I think reduces the political impact of libertarian-leaning voters: the fact that they're all over the map about which party or faction represents the lesser of the evils:
One reason why libertarians underperform politically is that they are politically split, not just between radicals and incrementalists, as can happen in any political movement, but also among various political movements — while being too small to influence any of them very much.
It seems to me that libertarians come in several political groupings:
(1) Those who care primarily about free markets and thus support conservative Republicans. Given the candidates on offer, that means helping to move the GOP to the right on social issues (and war and civil liberties) as well as on economic issues. This group would include the Club for Growth, Republican "Leave Us Alone" activist Grover Norquist, many donors to free-market thinktanks, and probably most libertarian-leaning politically active people.
(2) Those who want to make the GOP more socially tolerant and thus support moderate Republicans, which effectively means Republicans who aren't very free-market. This would include Log Cabin Republicans, pro-choice Republicans, and lots of Wall Street and Silicon Valley businesspeople.
(3) Those who think the GOP is irredeemably bad on social issues and civil liberties and thus support Democrats. This would again include some Silicon Valley businessmen who are pro-entrepreneurship and fiscally conservative but just can't support a party that is opposed to abortion rights and gay rights. A dramatic example is Tim Gill, the founder of Quark, who calls himself a libertarian but has contributed millions of dollars to Democrats because of Republican opposition to gay rights. There are also broadly libertarian people involved in the ACLU, the drug-reform movement, and other civil libertarian causes.
(4) Those who support the Libertarian Party. They don't get many votes, but they include a large percentage of libertarian activists.
If only some candidate or movement could bring them all together.
There was/is one. His name is Ron Paul and the movement is now called the Campaign for Liberty. Too bad Cato and Reason and many other libertarians bashed the most libertarian candidate ever to have a real possibility of being nominated to a major party. Making a deal breaker things which happened decades ago and while not always thoroughly explained away for some should have been no more harmful to the campaign than anyone else's skeletons.
At Paul's rallies you'd find Democrats and Greens, independents, Republicans and Constitutionalists, voluntarists and anarchists. He has/had broad support. While the support of those described above may not have won Paul the nomination it would have put him far closer. Boaz has only those nitpickers to blame.

The lush, verdant look of the Scottish highlands that serve as the backdrop for Pixar Animation Studio's forthcoming release, "Brave," was powered by new technology.
But it also came with a heftier price tag than Pixar's 2010 box office smash, "Toy Story 3," Ed Catmull, president of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation, said Wednesday at the Wall Street Journal's All Things Digital conference.
"'Toy Story 3' was actually the lowest cost among several Pixar films, but 'Brave' is higher,'" Catmull said without divulging the picture's production budget. "The primary reason is we adopted a new technology. There was a tax for adopting a new technology."
Pixar, which revolutionized computer animation, continues to push technological boundaries so it can continue to stretch creatively and achieve greater diversity in the look of its films. The new software, known as Presto, marks the first such overhaul since the animation studio's first theatrical release, "Toy Story" in 1995.
"If you look at 'Brave," it has a lush, rich look to it, a very different look," Catmull said. "Much of the technology is to allow for new kinds of imagery to come into the screen and stimulate the creative process."
Catmull identified achieving visual diversity on screen -- and managing costs -- as the two major challenges facing animation companies.
"Our expectations internally are high, but the business is going through changes," Catmull said, referring to difficult film industry economics. "Animation fortunately has succeeded best (amid) these changes because of the nature of its broad viewing. But the reality is, there's this continuing pressure there."
Catmull talked about transformation of a different sort at Walt Disney Animation, which had struggled for a decade before he and Pixar creative guru John Lasseter assumed oversight of the studio after it acquired Pixar in 2006.
The turnaround, which Disney achieved with the 2010 animated film "Tangled," came when the studio took ownership of their creative process, Catmull said.
"We don't say Pixar does one kind of film and Disney does another, but they do have different cultures," Catmull said. "So we set it up so that if one [studio] gets in trouble, then the other studio can't help them.
"In the end, when Disney made 'Tangled,' they made it. Nobody bailed them out. It was their film."

ok... this JUST started to happen not even a minute ago.
i get a text from my locked screen right, that little box appears with the name and message. but when i hit my SMS icon, the message isn't there anymore. and i had the conversation going without my screen auto-locking and the messages showed up fine but when i locked it again, the messages received disappeared, not sent.
i dunno what to do to fix it. i tried doing a reboot but that didn't work so i think it's something more serious... should i do a restore and re-unlock my phone?
i haven't seen this problem show up yet i think, i've been glued to the forums for a while but if i did miss it i do apologize.

I'm just trying to get a trial of CS5.5, and when it launches, it asks me to sign in. I do that, and then the sign in button, and the box just stays greyed out. It doesn't appear to be downloading anything.
When I try to close, it still won't go away, so I always end up having to force quit. Do I really need to resort to using pixelmator?
I have been trying to get mine to work for 4 days. I have spent 5+ hours installing, un-installing, and re-installing all of the necessary applications and programs. If someone has an answer to this question that is not found on the support/troubleshooting I would be delighted. I have had no luck in finding an acceptable answer, I mostly just keep getting referred to the troubleshooting pages and support forums, which have given me nothing. I feel like I am going around in circles. My brower downloads other programs perfectly fine, so there is obviously no error on my end. Thanks Adobe, for wasting my time and computer space with your useless Download Assistant. I have not heard one positive comment on the new Download Assistant.
At my end it has always worked fine , nothing is perfect so is it.
If you could tell us your isseu we can try and help you ,
I have been assisting Camrose1991 in http://forums.adobe.com/message/4375731#4375731. They do have a unique error though in the fact that they are unable to get past the licensing agreement when installing the Adobe Download Assistant. Have suggested trying a different user account. Beyond that could also try a selective startup but might be more effective to just by pass the ADA and use the direct download link instructions which I have also provided.

In short, not all vouchers will always work - if one does not work even though you think it should, just vote it downwards and move onto the next one. Eventually one voucher code will work, in most cases! Remember to vote it up, when you find one that does - that way other users will also benefit.
